MARC LEPINE: CRIMINAL OR FOLK HERO?
Most folk heroes started out as criminals, so they say. In 1989, it was clear to most people what Marc Lepine was: a criminal and a mass murderer. Twenty years later, it has changed: it is far from clear now. The simple fact that his name has not been forgotten and that his visibility, dare we say popularity, has increased, says a lot not only about the man but about the general public and its perceptions.

Good god, how come nobody comments this kind of stuff? Guess Facebook is more interesting, huh.

You know, you have the right to have all the opinions you want. IF, ONLY IF you really think it over.

You're reacting impulsively to what is a surgical operation, that is done in the vast majority of cases on women who were either raped or who, for some reason, got pregnant while they were taking contraception (it's more likely than you think, Google it).

Abortion is a really painful experience. From all the testimonies I've gathered, every woman I've seen was not pleased to have an abortion (that's the least you could say).

Don't you think they've gone through enough pain already? Do you really think it necessary to go all holy on them because they're "killing" a "baby?"

Because - let's face it - the operation is all about making sure the foetus doesn't even get to BE a baby. I mean do you have any memory at all from the time you were in your mother's uterus? Does it sound rational to you at all that a FOETUS can feel pain? Even if it does, with a little research on the internet (which you obviously have) could have enlightened you on this subject. I actually did my research as I was writing this : https://www.google.fr/search?q=foetus+pain&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:fr:official&client=firefox-a

And finally, even if we assume that the foetus does feel pain while abortion, what's going to become of the baby? What if it's the product of rape? Or what if it's born while the mother is still studying? Or what if it's just not desired? How is it going to feel about that? Is it better to let a baby live an unhappy life rather than just not let him grow to the point where it gains an actual conscience?

SPEAKING OF VIOLENCE...

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

Yes, which one are you? For the most part, five groups of people are interested in the Marc Lepine phenomenon: feminists, real women, bleeding heart liberals, criminalists and masculists. All are welcome here to join and post. So which one do you belong to? Maybe the above does not describe you accurately though, and you would like perhaps to add a new category to the pool. Feel free to do so, even if you should be the only one in it. It says nowhere that one cannot be his/her own planet!
